I just found this forecast on this site:

NATIONAL TRENDS FOR WINTER 2011 - ACROSS THE USA

A more detailed forecast is available from any one of our
astrometeorologists featured in the list that follows. Contact and
discuss the options.

The West Coast
A starting point is in the west where abundant rain is in the
forecast. Wet weather is typical in the northwest, but in Los Angeles
- is that a reach, perhaps, but not unknown to have flooding rains.
The models are displaying moisture, not only in the normally dry
regions of California but an extraordinary amount. Too much moisture
in California can bring on mudslides, and not the kind you drink! The
Los Angeles model holds a number of aspects which confirms the
forecast.

Over the Rocky Mtns.
Strong winds build and traverse the region both north and south.
Sporadic rain/snow and freezing temperatures in the northern states
and in the south, more dry conditions than usual, but plenty of wind
activity.

Midwest
North and central states will experience active, fast and turbulent
systems. They form and butt fronts to create a tornado ridden season.
This is not typical weather for winter. The usual cold and snowy
storms will prevail with more see saw temperatures as well.

South central states, Texas, Louisiana and nearby states have a bit
more high pressure systems that will, at times, block and divert the
flow of storms coming from the west. Storms flowing from the gulf are
extreme, more towards the middle of the season.

In general, Florida and the southeast will have the high pressure in
place for the beginning of the season producing milder temperatures.
There is one indication of abnormal warmth which is of concern; too
hot can clash with colder air normal for winter and create destructive
thunderstorms. Normal rainfall totals should be the result for the
entire season.

If it works I suppose it is a cheap insight. I don't begrudge her a

Well I forecast this snow would stop falling when all on here were
saying their prayers to the great white god.

You don't know what causes weather and all the money supplied to
Meteorology to provide house and feed enormous computers isn't
accomplishing all that much better than us is it?

If a fraction of one percent of what has been spent at the University
of the "Middle East", never mind keeping ice cold and tree rings safe,
had been spent on employing a couple of school leavers to actually try
and understand what we amateurs are doing, even a dolt like you would
be sensible about this stuff.

Only kidding.
There is no way on god's earth He is going to let you see daylight.

I have only just begun to look at what the author of this site has
done so I can't say yea or nay to it. But at least she is trying. What
are you doing?

Has anyone on here besides me actually tried to understand where
weather comes from?
I hear talk of instabilities and all sorts of mumbo jumbo from
scientists. But no insights and little true understandings.

Why not just ignore me?

Have I asked for your assistance?

I have had none from any on here. Absolute zero. Why can't you be
happy with that?
You cesspit.

The deluded always believe they are the ones with the answer and
everyone else is wrong. I would imagine most people will ignore you,
or not, as is their wont, but if they reply, it will almost always be
to tell you that you are a silly, deluded individual. If that hurts -
I don't honestly care.

Probably works at least as well as the methods your mate Piers Corbyn
uses to separate the red tops from their money. Except that he manages
to get paid for the tripe he feeds them and no-one ever moans when he
gets it wrong. They only remember the rare occasions when he is right.

Be my guest, old fruit.
I wasn't asking for pity. I was just pointing out the facts of life to
an idiot.

Pointless I know but why should I have to swallow shit from a cesspit?

As it happens I have been bang on so far and as a case in point may I
point you to my latest forecast:
http://my.opera.com/Weatherlawyer/albums/editallpics.dml?id=10252812&abc=&page=2&skip=20&show=&perscreen=20

I have never read anything from Piers Morgan except once when someone
on here pointed out in the most negative terms possible how well he
actually made a forecast months in advance. missed by two degrees and
you all fell on him like shit from a shovel.

Two degrees.

You lot can all be described as !<¬ing dimwits.

Thanks for being nice to me in the past.

I thought the purpose of killfiling was that you would
*not* read his posts. Yet you have read this latest one. So what's
the point of killfiling except as a smug symbolic gesture to either
yourself or the group? As for "mental rape" you must be a very
delicate soul indeed. It's a ludicrous comment.
Why for God's sake doesn't everybody just ignore Weatherlawyer, or
read him for amusement only and leave it at that? His posts make me
either roll my eyes upwards or giggle. If you get annoyed by that
you'll get annoyed by nitrogen. For goodness' sake, children, GROW
UP!

His insults aren't as well veiled as they used to be.

I remember once, people on this group being quite disbelieving when I
told them that WL had the propensity to insult anyone and everyone at
every opportunity.

Tudor is right tho'. Don't read his posts, or read his posts and use
them as some sort of personal self-esteem therapy.

I killfiled WL years ago, as presumably Ron did, so the only writings of his
that I see are what are not deleted in replies copied to the NG by his
correspondents. In this case I assume Ron was commenting on the contents of
the link that Richard posted. Since I have not opened the link I could not
possibly comment.

I did the same. People actually got annoyed and criticised *me* for
criticising the abuse that inevitably comes from the delusion that is
W. Remember? "He's never abused me, so don't ever accuse him of doing
so", was one of the nicer replies. The first two posts I replied to (I
always give people a chance) convinced me that he is an abusive
lunatic and nothing that has happened since has disabused me of that
view.

Killfiling removes one's own right to reply, though. It's not
something I would ever employ. I almost always read posts and I would
hope (indeed I'm sure) that everyone here is capable of deciding
whether they read and/or reply.

I killfiled him too after receiving a tirade of personal abuse.
(We are the fools, it seems, for failing to appreciate his superior
intellect.)
Such people are best ignored, as it's impossible to have a scientific or
factual discussion with them.

You are wasting your time, Mr Hughes Sir.

Some people just never learn:
"I killfiled WL years ago, as presumably Ron did..."

[Gone but not forgotten everdensely.]

"The only writings of his that I see are what are not deleted in
replies copied to the NG by his correspondents."

[I have no difficultie ignoring posts in threads I'm reading. Google
tells me when Dawlish is pestent and i can see who is playing with it.
The human brain is a remarkable tool if you can use it. Mine allows me
to skate past dross like that.

I'm still working on letting arses insult me and not get upset about
it though.

Still if enough people like you can reply to me they will get the
practise obviously required to train themselves in the mysteries of
using theirs. And learn to leave me alone.]

"In this case, I assume Ron was commenting on the contents of
the link that Richard posted. Since I have not opened the link I
could not
possibly comment."

[When you don't comment you don't post the non comment.]

***

I can't say I have insulted Gavino. There was someone called Gordon
who popped in the same thread to insult me. I seem to have seen him
off.

I actually went out of my way to explain to him what I was doing. If
he had difficulty following me he should have asked more questions. I
don't insult people who don't need to be shaken out of their stupor.

If they wish to remain in such a state of grace then in their
stupidity they get the results stupor brings. That's life.

Any way, not that I expect much:

Oh for goodness sake.

If the sun caused the weather you wouldn't need to spend millions of
pounds trying to get the best you can out of crystal mazes that
consume oodles of power. All you would need is a calendar.

And all I was pointing out before you prodded my with the jibe was
that someone was trying a different idea and that the idea was similar
to mine.

Half a university's budget in one town is spent on analysing tree
rings. Admittedly they are getting some flack about that.

I am trying to analyse the rings that the moon makes around us. Is
that such an heinous crime?

The subject of my OP was that an astrologer was doing something
similar only with more rings. Wickedly she appears to be trying to
make a living out of it.

A sensible man, rather than making ad hominem attacks on me, her or
the sport; enthusiasm; diligence; foolishness, whatever...
...would have analysed the results as they came up.

When I pour scorn on someone I at least offer an expalnation of why
something won't work. I don't just post my biggotted opinions like you
do. And yes, I ma afraid I am an acute judge of human nature.

Do I have to apologise to anyone on here for telling lies about them?
I don't think so.

My opinion on dendrochronology is just that there is too little to go
on. And that anyone who curls up in his shell and lets fools take
shots at him isn't a leader I'd follow.

My opinion of him would be that he was a nice guy getting pilloried by
people like you. And that there would be a lot less people like you if
you had some of your shit shoved back in your face.

One of us is going to be proven correct sooner rather than later if I
have anything to do with it and then the other one will feel obliged
to go and play elsewhere.

In the meantime I have no problem with making my mistakes a matter of
public record. And if I feel like doing so I will continue to get my
efforts date stamped even if shits like you and whoever continue to
make life unpleasant for anyone who has to wade through it to get to
my stuff.

Like me, they will soon learn to avoid it, if they wish to.

While we face Armageddon?

I think there are enough... how did Arthur Wellesley describe them?

"Pedants and coxcombs" in this group as it is. And you would have its

Lawrence, I have done you an extreme honour in reading a post
following a dawlish.

But why do you persist in following a person who only gets abused by
me and yet can't resist asking for more though he has been told often
that I don't even read his posts -usually.

May I ask you if it has occurred to you that nobody here has commented
on the OP?
